**Four State Police Officers Temporarily Removed in Rosarito Following Complaints**
In Rosarito, four officers from the State Police have been temporarily removed from their duties after the submission of two formal complaints. The situation arose after the state police assumed control of local security on March 7th. According to the Secretary of Citizen Security for Baja California, Laureano Carrillo Rodríguez, these complaints were lodged with both the State Attorney General’s Office and the Internal Control Body of the security department.
Carrillo Rodríguez revealed that these complaints have prompted an investigation. “People have come forward with allegations against the state police. We currently have two formal cases under investigation,” he stated. He also mentioned that although there are claims circulating on social media, no additional formal reports have been filed at this time.
**Officers Reassigned During Investigation**
In regards to the current status of the four officers, Carrillo Rodríguez clarified that, for safety reasons, they have been reassigned while the investigation by the Internal Control Body is underway. “There is no concrete evidence linking the officers to the accusations,” he explained, “but they have been relocated as a precautionary measure.”
Since the state police took charge, replacing the 264 municipal officers, a thorough vetting process has been implemented. This includes psychological, medical, and toxicology tests, in addition to social background checks and polygraphs. Moreover, the officers’ firearms are undergoing checks for serial numbers and codes.
While officer accountability may seem rare, this step could signify the beginning of necessary reforms within Rosarito’s security system.
**Additional Information on Local Developments**
In a related context, recent events in Baja California have captured public attention. Strong winds, choppy seas, and cooler weather conditions have been forecasted, urging residents and travelers to exercise caution. Meanwhile, the annual SCORE San Felipe 250 event is poised to proceed with all preparations underway.
Additionally, a significant fuel seizure occurred in Ensenada, where authorities confiscated nearly 2.1 million gallons of stolen gasoline. On a different note, Sheinbaum has initiated a housing program aimed at improving accommodations in Playas de Rosarito, marking further developments in the region’s social infrastructure.
These updates highlight both the challenges and progress within the Baja California region, reflecting ongoing efforts to enhance public safety and community welfare.
